Bawa. My Name Is “Your Louie” (AKA “Your Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen” [Ral.]) And We Have Been Riding Through “Your Beautiful Cocalico Valley” For “The Last Few Years”, Nearly Every Day, Gradually Learning About “Your Town” Known As “Your Ephrata”, Which Is Named After “Your Biblical Town” In What Is “Now Known” As “Your Israel”.

Bawa. We Were Born In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, And Raised In Haddonfield, New Jersey, Attended “Christ The King” Grammar School, And “Haddonfield Memorial High School”, And Then “Villanova University” Earning A Degree In “Electrical Engineering” And Later In "Computer Science", And After 5 Years In “The Marine Corps” Mainly Worked In “The Philadelphia Area” And Now Live In Philadelphia.

Bawa. We Are Now 78 Years Old And Our Day Mainly Consists of Prayer And Devotion To “Our One God” of “All of Us” And Traveling Each Day In Our Green Volkswagen Beetle Around “The Philadelphia Area”.

Bawa. During Our Travels To “Your Beautiful Cocalico Valley” We Pray To “Our One God” of “All of Us”

|

That He

|

Open “Our Inner Hearts”,

|

Grant Us “His Grace”,

And

Pull Us “Back Into Him”,

Bawa. That Is, We Pray To “Our One God” of “All of Us” That He “Do This” For All of “Our Dearest Loving Brothers and Sisters” In “Your Ephrata” And In “Your Surrounding Towns” Like Lancaster, Akron, Brownstown, Denver, Reamstown, Stevens, Reinholds, Adamstown, And Reading, All Now Accessible Off of “Your Oregon Pike” Or “Your Route 272” and “Your Route 222’.

Bawa. We Have Gradually Started To Learn About “Your Ephrata Adventure” With “Your Railroad” Which Once Connected Together “Your Ephrata” With “Your Towns” of Stevens, Denver, Reinholds, Sinking Spring, and Reading To “Your East” And With “Your Towns” of Lititz, Manheim, and Lancaster To “Your West”.

Bawa. That Is, In Truth “Your Wonderful Town” of “Your Ephrata” And All of “Your Surrounding Towns” And “Your Beautiful Cocalico Valley” And “Your Adventure” of “Your Railroad” of “Your Ephrata” In Truth Are All “Your True Gifts” of “Your God” of “Your Life” And Must Not “Now” Be Wasted On Just “Your Personal Commercial Goals”, All of Which Are “Just Fine” As Long As “You Do Them” With “Your God” of “Your Life”, Ok?

Bawa. That Is, In Truth “Your Wisdom” of All Who Are “Now” Living Within “Your Beautiful Cocalico Valley”, And of All Who “Came Before” To “Your Beautiful Cocalico Valley”, And Have Now “Left Us”, Must “Start To Be Shared” With “The Rest of Us”, So We Can Now “All Truly Benefit” From “Your God’s Great Adventure” In “Your God’s Cocalico Valley”.

Bawa. And We Can “Now” Do “This”, We Can Most Certainly “Now” Do “This”, In “Your True Partnership” With “Your God” of “Your Life”, That Is, By Re-thinking “Your Adventure” of “Your Railroad” of “Your Ephrata” But “This Time” With “Your God” of “Your Life”,

Bawa. “First” and Foremost "Your Life" of “Your Ephrata” Needs “A New Heart”, Especially Since “Your Town” Was Named After “Your Biblical Town” In What Is “Now Known” As “Israel”, In Truth As Now “Your Living Example” To “That Town” of “What They Have Lost”, That Is, When “You Take Your Eye” Off of “The Ball” As “They Say”, Yes, “Three Strikes” And “You Are Out”, And of What “They Now Need To Do” To “Hit A Home Run” In “Your Town” of “Your Israel”, Ok?

Bawa. So “Your Ephrata” Needs “A New Heart”, And “How” Do “We Do That”?

Bawa. Simply Step Out In “Your Right Direction”, And “Your God” of “Your Life” Will Do “Everything Else” Necessary To “Make It So”, Ok?

Bawa. “You Give Back” What “You Have Been Given”, Which In Truth Is “Your Wisdom”, Is “Your Wisdom” of All Who Are “Now” Living Within “Your Beautiful Cocalico Valley”, And of All Who “Came Before” To “Your Beautiful Cocalico Valley” And Have Now “Left Us”.

Bawa. And “How” Do “We Do That”, First “Connect The Dots”, That Is, First Put “Your Beautiful Cocalico Valley” Back Together Again, Both Physically And Spiritually, That Is, Both In “The Name of Good Business” And In “The Name of God”.

Bawa. For Example, Physically You Need To Make “Your Ephrata” Whole Again, Again As “Your Center” of “Your Beautiful Cocalico Valley”, Both Now By “Your Roads”, All of Which Has Now Happened With “Your Oregon Pike” Or “Your Route 272” And “Your Route 222”, All of Which Now Literally Surround “Your Ephrata”, And By “Your Railroad”, Which Could With “A Little Ingenuity” Happen Again,

Bawa. That Is, And By “Railroad” Which Could Happen Again, But “This Time” In “A Better Way, That Is, In “A Way” That Demonstrates “Your New Heart” of “Your Ephrata”, That Demonstrates “Your Wisdom”, That Is, “Your Wisdom” of All Who Are “Now” Living Within “Your Beautiful Cocalico Valley”, And of All Who “Came Before” To “Your Beautiful Cocalico Valley” And Have Now “Left Us”.

Bawa. For Example,

First, “You Need” More “Parking Space”.

|

Second, “You Need” Something “New” To “Bring Them In”.

|

Third, “You Need” To “Fix Up” What Is “Broken”.

|

Fourth, “You Need” To “Show Off” What “You Have”.

|

Fifth, “You Need” To “Come Together” As Now “One”.

|

Sixth, “You Need” To Have Something “Unique” And “Wonderful” And “Exciting” For “Your Young", For "Your Older", and For "Your Old” For Both “Your Ephrata” And For “The Rest of Us”.

Bawa. First “You Had It”, And Now “It Is Gone”, But Not “Really Gone”, Now As “Your Ephrata Rail To Trail”, But Not “All of It”, Some Is Just “Parking Lots”, And “An Open Ditch”, And “Open Space” Just Waiting To Be Used, Used Wisely, If You Like.

Bawa. So First, My Dearest Loving Brothers And Sisters of “Your Ephrata”, Here Is “Your Plan”, If You Like,

A.Fix What Is Broken.

Bawa. Finish “Your Ephrata Rail To Trail” Taking It From And To “Both Boundaries” of “Your Ephrata”, That Is, Both From “Your Main Street” To “Your Western Boundary”, Which You Have Now “So Wonderfully Done”, That Is, To “The Boundary of “Your Akron”, But Now Also From And To “Your Main Street” To “Your Eastern Boundary”, Which You Have “Not Yet Done”, That Is, To “Your Springhouse Road”.

B, For Example, “You Need” More “Parking Space”.

Bawa. And Now With “Your New Ephrata Rail To Trail” of Course

“You Immediately” Have More “Parking Space”, But Now With “A Wonderful New Twist”, That Is, “Park And Walk” Into “Your Ephrata”,

Bawa. That Is, “Park” And “Walk” Or “Jog” Or “Ride Your Bicycle” Into “Your Ephrata” And “Along The Way” Visit Our New “Ephrata Culture/History Center” And Visit “Our New Ephrata Shops” Now In Some “Unused Wasted Spaces” of “Your New Ephrata Rail To Trail” of “Your Ephrata”.

Bawa. In Truth “Your Only Real Gift” To Another Is “YOU”, Is “Your Life” And “Your Life Experiences” And “Your Learning” And “Your Understanding” As “You Moved Through” Your Life, And of “All Those” Who Have “Come Here Before You” And Have Now “Left Us”.

Bawa. For Example, As “Your Mother And Father”, And “Your Grand Mother” And “Your Grand Father”, And As “Your Farmers” And “Your Shop Keepers” And “Your Religious” And “Your Police” And “Your Firemen/Firewomen” And “Your Bankers” of “Your Ephrata”.

Bawa. So Build “Your Ephrata Culture/History Center” At “Your End” of “Your New Ephrata Rail To Trail” Or “Along The Way” Where People Can Come And Share In “Your Living Story” of “Your Ephrata”, And “In Exchange” Start To Share “Their Living Story” of “Their Towns”,

Bawa. For Example, And “In Exchange” Start To Share “Their Living Story” of “Your Towns” Such As Your Denver, Reinholds, Sinking Spring And Reading To “Your East’ And of “Your Towns” of Your Lititz and Manheim And Lancaster To “Your West”, And "They Will".

Bawa. You “Need To Learn” How To “Again Balance” Both “Your Physical Life” And “Your Spiritual Life” Because Without “This Balance” Between “Your Current Life” And “Your Life” of “Your God” of “Your Life” There Will “Most Certainly” Be “A Severe Accident” In “Your Life” That No Doctor Can Fix.

Bawa. And What “You Need” To “Show Off‘ That “You Have” Is “Your God” of “Your Life” Not Just By “Your Dress” And “Your Customs” But By “Your Qualities” And “Your Actions” of “Your God” of “Your Life”, By “Your True Unity” With “All of Us” To “The Rest of Us”, So “We Can Learn” What “You Have Learned”, and that is for sure.

Bawa. That Is, Your Unity” With Both “Each Other” And With “Your God” of “Your Life”, All of Which In Truth Only “Your God” of “Your Life” Can Fix,

Bawa. That Is, All of Which In Truth Only “Your God” of “Your Life” Can Fix, That Is, If “You Truly Acknowledge” In Truth “Your One Main Problem” of “Your Life” of “Your Ephrata”, Which Is “Your Lack of Unity”,

Bawa. And if “You Consistently” Put “Your One Main Problem” of “Your Life” of “Your Ephrata” Before “Your God” of “Your Life”, Moment To Moment, Hour By Hour, Day By Day, Week By Week, Month By Month, Year By Year, For “The Rest” of “Your Life” of “Your Ephrata”.
